I had an E30 that liked to do that, had to replace the ECU (Engine Control Unit). Last 5 series (e12) that did that to me was a bad ground to the fuse box, do some digging, clean some grounds you might get lucky and the problem will go away. Your's seems kinda new though to have those issues. Did you take to a beemer specific guy or just a general service guy?
